I am starting to think more artsy craftsy and am pretty good with my hands and I wonder what direction I should go in. What are people looking for most at farmer's markets, especially the one's you set up?

That is interesting that you are thinking so big but I guess you have to in order to go galactic.
There are already several networks in place that are great resources to work with. Farmers Markets Ontario is one of the biggest ones. We are a member.
Building a virtual network would be a very good thing. I am working on some new plans for the website. Once it started this spring I have been running in circles and then my laptop died. I plan to launch it next year with some advanced ways of vendors and customers to connect. I would love to tie this into Avalon somehow and help others get a market started in their town.
Markets are the way of the future...AGAIN.
In the 1980's there was something like 50 markets in Ontario and now there is well over 120 plus handfuls of other private markets and farm gate sales. Its a struggle. There are lots of rules from the government. Some of them are there for good reasons because health and safety are important. You dont want people getting sick. I have a DVD with info about it. Basic stuff. Wash your hands and dishes and tables.  |
